Vikings RB Dalvin Cook said Thursday that he’s hoping to remain in Minnesota long term.

“I definitely love Minnesota,” Cook said, per Chris Tomasson. “I love everything the state has to bring and being a kid I was drafted from Miami (his hometown), I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I actually am happy where I’m at, and I would like to be in Minnesota long term.’’
